Body Rituals

Our body rituals nurture the mind, body and soul connection and take great care to restore balance between the three, understanding that total calmness and relaxation is obtained when a gentle harmony is achieved. 

We draw upon many Western and Eastern traditions for their knowledge in healing and purifying the body. Our touch works deeply into the core of tired stiff muscles, while our essential oils help to calm and uplift the mind. We teach our therapists to work intuitively with the body, learning to recognise and connect with your energy, creating a very safe and calm space for you to feel truly restored.

The Soul Khaya Body Experience
Anti-Aging  |  2 hours  |  R650  

Our body experience starts with an Africology body scrub that also acts as a purifying mask. While preparing the skin for Hypoxis, this process deeply eliminates toxins, while exfoliating lifeless skin cells and assists with cell renewal. African potato (or Hypoxis) is extracted using a natural process, and is combined with Marula oil, which softens, soothes and improves skin hydration, while also fighting free radicals. Africology’s warm herbal blend relaxes you on application, while the background sounds of Africa ensure a special way to help the mind focus on the holistic experience. You may choose between a traditional foot ritual or deeply relaxing facial massage, while the wraps herbal blend moisturises and tones the skin. Finally, there is the pressure point massage, with the skin serum that creates a natural barrier to hold in moisture, to complete the experience.

The Palmitic Acid found in Marula oil creates a protective coating on the surface of the skin, offering maximum protection against free radicals, it also helps the growth of fibroblasts, the cells that help produce collagen and elastin in the skin.
